Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Wednesday Wisdom: Be Open to Opportunities (my recent commercial)

There was an episode in "Sex and the City" where Carrie Bradshaw was asked to be a guest star in a runway fashion show. She was nervous because she classified herself as a writer.

That said, last Fall my husband and I got the opportunity to appear in a print ad for Howard Hanna. Because they liked it so much they asked us to appear in a commercial. We filmed in a couple of months ago. I just learned that it is airing now. They paid us to do both. So...does this mean that I am a real model? Nah. However, I did have a lot of fun!

People have asked me how did this happen. Truthfully, I responded to an email, took some test photos, and the rest is history. I always wanted to do some modeling. Now, I that I have I realize that it is even MORE fun than I thought it would be! I don't know if this is the start of more gigs or if this was just a lark. What I do know is that I am glad that I responded to that email...
